Google blog about the fact that they’ve just exceeded indexing over 1 trillion unique URLs.  That’s 1,000,000,000,000.  That’s 1,000 times more than the billion pages they reached on their indexes in 2000, which was 400 times more than the 26 million pages they indexed way back in 1998. 1,000,000,000,000 unique web pages.
